Rubio Speaks With Netanyahu as Trump Says He Pressed Israel on Lebanon Ceasefire
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about an hour before the report was published. At the same time, NBC White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez wrote on X that President Donald Trump told him he had “spoken with Israel” and asked it to agree to a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
Trump declined to say whether he had spoken directly with Netanyahu. He said the response was “positive” and described it as “the little cherry on top.”
Asked about the strikes in Lebanon that preceded the ceasefire, Trump said, “I have always had a good relationship with Bibi. Sometimes you just need to calm down and use your head.”
